Responses were rather mixed - there were different proposals being
bounced around. As I recall, a list to discuss general dispute
resolution matters and perhaps to draw attention to specific disputes
has some support, but I don't recall much support for a list where
disputes would actually be resolved (which I think was your original
proposal). I don't think the list can be created until it is agreed
what it will actually be for.
